Cannot Get “Cost Description” Field from Event Price Gutenberg Block

    I’m using The Events Calendar plugin v5.14.1 on WordPress v5.9.3 with “Active Block Editor for Events” enabled (ie Gutenberg is used for editing events in the backend). There is a block called “Event Price” that allows me to set a price as well as a description for that price. Screenshot here: https://imgur.com/2qojB9T

    I can enter this field on the backend and then save/modify it when editing events. However, I can’t figure out how to echo this field in my custom templates on the frontend. The ‘tribe_get_cost()’ function does not reference it. If I var_dump the event object, I see its label in the object ‘_EventCostDescription’ but cannot find the value I set. And it appears in the object markup to be an array of one element that contains an empty string. This is what is echoed in the object:

    ["_EventCostDescription"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(0) "" }

    Again, though, this value is stored when I go to edit the event on the backend. Any ideas on how echo/use this value in my templates? I’m stumped, thanks in advance for any help!

    Hi @invex09,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    After some initial debugging I am able to confirm the issue as tribe_get_cost doesn’t return cost description and the _EventCostDescription postmeta comes up empty.

    Kindly bear with me while I dig some more into this. Will get back to you shortly.

    Many thanks for your patience in this regard.

    Hi @invex09,

    As per a developer of our team the only place this value is stored is in the raw block attributes. He has setup a custom function that will help you fetch event cost description value,

    Kindly give this a try and let us know if this helps.

    Kind regards,
